The Classic LA Deli Power Rankings
"This cramped Italian deli in Pasadena slices its prosciutto and various cheeses to order and has endless shelves stocked with imported oils, vinegars, conservas, and dried pasta. But the reason most people are here is for Roma’s famous (and unnamed) sandwich handed out by the shop’s 84-year-old owner. The sandwich is only $6, and consists of cured meat (capicola, mortadella, and salami) and some provolone on a freshly baked roll. It’s the most iconic cold cut in Pasadena, which means you should try to get there before 1pm if you want one." - brant cox, garrett snyder
